Answer:

 h=26.49m

Step-by-step explanation:

First, take a look at the picture I attached you. It is a drawing which represent the problem.

As you can see from the picture the building height h would be the sum of the person's height plus the length of the side a of the triangle:

h=1,72m+a

There are many ways to solve this problem, however I believe that the easiest one is using tangent identity which states:

tan(\theta) =\frac{opposite}{adjacent}

Hence:

tan(54)=\frac{a}{18}

Solving for a:

a=tan(54)*18=24.77487457\approx24.77m

So the building height is:

h=1.72+24.77=26.49487457\approx26.49m

<u><em>Translation:</em></u>

Primero, mira la imagen que te adjunté. Es un dibujo que representa el problema.

Como puede ver en la imagen, la altura h del edificio sería la suma de la altura de la persona más la longitud del lado a del triángulo:

h=1,72m+a

Hay muchas maneras de resolver este problema, sin embargo, creo que la más fácil es usar la identidad de la tangente que establece:

tan(\theta) =\frac{opuesto}{adyacente}

Por lo tanto:

tan(54)=\frac{a}{18}

Resolviendo para a:

a=tan(54)*18=24.77487457\approx24.77m

Entonces la altura del edificio es:

h=1.72+24.77=26.49487457\approx26.49m

The final velocity (v) is given by the formula v = v0 + at, where v0 is initial velocity, v is final velocity, a is acceleration
Alona [7]
For this case we have the following equation:
 v = v0 + at
 Where, we have the following values:
 v0 = 20 meters / second
 a = 1.5 meters / second2
 t = 4 seconds
 Substituting values we have:
 v = 20 + (1.5) * 4
 v = 26 meters / second
 Answer:
 
The car's final velocity is:
 
v = 26 meters / second
